"The cuts we make in defining phenomena have real, material consequences."

"Transcendence and immanence are not opposites but are mutually constitutive."

"We are in a dance with the world; we cannot step outside of it to understand it."

"The question is not how to represent a world that exists independently, but how we participate in its becoming."

"Feminist concerns must be central to physics and philosophy of science."

"The natural and the social are not separate domains but deeply intertwined."

"Meeting the universe halfway is both a scientific and ethical imperative."

"We need new vocabularies and new ways of thinking to address contemporary challenges."

"Material entanglements shape our possibilities for action and understanding."

"The pursuit of objectivity has often obscured our responsibilities to the material world."

"Difference is not about separate identities but about relational configurations."

"The body is not a passive container but an active participant in knowledge-making."

"We must be attentive to what is excluded or made invisible by our systems of representation."

"Agential realism insists that human and non-human agencies are inextricably entangled."

"The world is filled with surprising resonances when we listen carefully to its material configurations."

"Scientific knowledge is always situated, partial, and accountable to the material world."

"Uncertainty is not a limitation but an essential feature of reality."

"The entanglement of observer and observed means we are always already responsible."

"Posthumanist perspectives help us move beyond human exceptionalism."

"Matter matters - it is not passive or inert but active and generative."

"We must develop new modes of relating to the non-human world."

"The question 'what is real?' cannot be separated from 'what matters?'"

"Apparatuses are not neutral tools but are saturated with power relations and ethical implications."

"Diffraction helps us see how difference emerges through relational configurations."

"The world is not waiting to be discovered but is continually being made through our practices."

"Responsibility extends to all our entanglements with the world, not just human ones."

"We cannot separate the study of nature from the study of power, politics, and ethics."

"The boundaries between science and ethics, facts and values, are not as clean as we might hope."

"Material agency exceeds human intentionality and control."

"The intra-actions through which the world becomes are always already entangled with questions of justice."
